The Boom.

The excitement and rapid advance
of values in Southern California has |
spread all over the Pacific coast and |
has added many thousand inpopulation
as well as millions in wealth. The
boom is rapidly travelling northward
and Oregon is beginning to share in
the prosperity which it brings with it.
A land like ours where can be raised
almost all kinds of fruit is fast coming
to be valuable. 1t is now conceded
that there is little danger Of our glut
ting the markets of the world with
our canned and dried prunes, peaches,
and other fruits. The demand for
them is steadily increasing and, of
course the land that will produce such
fruit is in demand. And, as the area
is limited, the price is enhanced by
demand. Capitalists whose United
States bonds are being called in are
looking around for real estate that will
pay at least as much as these bonds.
They do not expect to get land that
will return iii rem! and crops ten per
cent, over taxes, rs they did when
money was worth one and one half per
cent. a month They are anxious now
to get land that will pay four Or five
per cent IIen:c ii IS easy to see why
, land is double in value by the great
reduction i'll the rate of interest for
money One good result of the boom
we see already, is that many of the
large ranches are being divided, and
, 1000 acres will soon support
six or eight families and
the large hay fields which no"
yield but five dollars year will be
planted in prunes or peaches and yield
$50 to 500 year. In this way the
! population will be quadrupled in many
t places, and tie people who are now
coming in here and investing in Or
!. chards and real estate are usually boil
s intelligent and thrifty, and viii b,
excellent neighbors and fellow citizens
: Let the boom come.

A memorable and impol tant work in
the religious world is the location of
the great Catholic University in the

of which amount 100000 is already

4 A sad suicide occurred Mt the Bomoseen
House, Castleton on the night of the 18th
Inst. A man of apparently about 10 years
/ of age arrived at the hotel that afternoon
and registered as Frank Oliver Parkhurst
of Rutland. He was IA stranger to all
about the house, and his preoccupied air
attracted attention. He paid for his lodg-
ing and breakfast and then retired. Moth
inc was heard from him the next morn
ing, and about two O'Clock. d M, the
door of his room was forced, when his
dead body was discovered, rolled in a
blanket and lying on the floor. Beside
him was revolver, an open Bible and a
phial in which there had been laudanum,
while under his nose was "a sponge which
had evidently been saturated with ether.
Chas. A. PaTkhurst of Rutland was tele-
phoned the facts, and at once visited the
scene of the tragedy, and identified the
body as that of his son. He left home
last April for no known cause, and had
since eluded the most vigilant search. 1t
is supposed he was insane.

The French Scandals.

The French scandals now involve
the police officials as we'll as military
and civil officers. They are serious
enough to affect the position of
France as a present factor in Europ-
can politics. No one is surprised at
the revelation who knows the tone of
French literature and French drama
and other indications of French NOR
atty. Other great nations have their
great evils, but nowhere on earth is
vice so shameless and conspicuous as
in the public life of the gay city of
Paris. Sensuality is not treated as
an evil to be hated and hunted 1t
is more like a national idol, for which
places of amusements are the tenn
pies of worship. Art, poetry and
fiction are its incessant ministers.
But a few years ago, a foreign book
seller published a catalogue of OBJ
jectionable works in six volumes, the
very large proportion of which, in
Guiding the most expensive, are is
sues from French houses. No nation
that permits immortality to triumph in
its literature, art, amusements and
society can maintain a commanding
position among nations that have
more conscience, character and relig
ION.
Corrupt as the great capitals of
other nations doubtless are, it is evil
dent that there is a vast difference in
the extent and degree of corruption.
In recording the failure of a Partisan
club, the London Telegraph says ::
''Paris clubs depend chiefly on what
is called cagnOtte-that is to say,
on the profit on gambling-to defray
their expenses, so that the more re-
spectacle club there is, the more diff
ficult it is to keep its head above wa
ter
1t is very difficult to make conclu-
sive congratulations in regard to NOR
ais, but it is patent to those who
have much knowledge of the world,
that the leaven of unbelief, sensuali-
ty and goddess living has a wider and
deeper influence in the French capital
than in any other great centre of civ

A large hippopotamus also escaped.
These animals rushed about the
streets. Their sides were burned
and pieces of flesh a foot square fell
off. Thirty elephants and one lion
started off across the country toward
Fairfield. There was great alarm
and many residents barred their doors
and windows. All the ring animals,
trained stations, ponies, ETC., were
burned also all the tents, seats, har-
nesses, poles, etc. ; also all the birds,
monkeys, three rhionoceroses, the by,
enas, tigers, lions and all the menag-
erie.
The building burnt in half an hour
The chariot was saved. The loss is
estimated at over half million, and
an insurance of 100000. The streets
were in an uproar for hours on ac-
count of the number of wild beasts
that were loose. Several persons
were picked up in the streets by the
Infatuated elephants and tossed
around. A detail of police pursued
a roaring lion and put six or seven
bullets in his hide, but with no per-
ceptible result.

On the line of the Bennington and
Rutland railroad, near the village of
White Creek, is a house that stands
in two states, New York and Yer
mont; three counties, Rensselaer,,
and Washington, n. y, and Ben
nington, Vt. and four towns, Hoosic
and White Greek in New York, and
Bennington and SALISBURY in Yer
mont. This curiously located house
was built 80 years ago by Col. Mather,
and was intended as a house of ref
uge for debtors. If an officer from
Hoosic, Rensselaer, county, should go
after an impecuniOus debtor who was
fortunate enough to get under the
hospitable roof of the Mather house,
the prosecuted man had only just to
step across the hall into SALISBURY,
Bennington county, and he could
laugh at his pursuer with impunity /;
or a man might murder another in
the kitchen and then walk into the
parlor and defy any one to touch him
until the proper papers were made
out. Such convenient house must
have had an extensive patronage in
the days of Imprisonment for debt.

What to Do With the Surplus.

We Americans, with results dem
onstrating unequalled genius for in
ternal development, seem to have
lost our faculty for the sea.
ga chance in the markets of the
world for our increasing surplus of
production is one of the safety valves
for the energies and the needs of a
growing population. We build A.
900 miles of railroad at a capitaliza-
ton of 5000, 100000 to bring the
output of our farms, our mills, and
our mines to the seacoast, and then
sit on our treasures and gaze upon the
ocean with something of the helpless
wonder of the simple aborigines who
first roamed these states. The polit-
zeal sagacity of the hour finds no
means for preventing a surplus in
the treasury which threatens the cred
it and stability of business and the
decentralization of the government,
and seeks to diminish it by appropri-
ating millions for dredging creeks
which only can be utilized for eel
pots and terrapin farms, when proper
mail subsidies might build a mer-
chant marine which would carry our
flag once more over all the waters of
the world, furnish ready-made navy
in time of war, and start vast ship
yards upon the Delaware and arms
of the sea North and South. One
thousand five hundred millions of
dollars is the value of the commerce
of the United States, and all of it
is carried under alien flags. The En-
glish, the Germans and the French
kindly carry our persons and our
freight, and skim the cream of our
trade. One year ago distinguished
governor of an interior state stand
ing in this hall said to us: You mer-
chants along the coast are too easy.
This country wants no navy. If
hostile feet of ironclads should an
Choir in your harbor and lombard

dear governor, we are all members of
one body. The failure af the West
would destroy the East, the destruc-
ton of the cities and credits of the
East would ruin the West. The Unit
ed States is a great republic, its di-
verse climatic conditions, industrial
developments and needs, blending
tremendously to form a mighty ma
ton which must be able to protect it
self in every part and trade in every
mart in the world. We have no time
to listen to the pessimist or the croak-
er. The vital problems of capital
and labor are solving themselves in
the full and remuneratIye employ
ment of the one and opportunity and
good wages for the other. The ge=

A letter from Topeka, Kansas, to
the Cincinnati Enquirer, states that
Boston Corbett, who shot John Wilkes
Booth, has been declared hopelessly
insane, and n guardian has been APP
pointed by the probate judge to take
charge of his property. Corbett was
taken to the state insane asylum, and
will probably continue an inmate OF
the institution as long as he lives, as
physicians say it is impossible for
him to be cured. Corbett has eXhib-
tied signs of insanity for several
years, and imagined himself pursued
by friends of Wilkes Booth.

The consolation that the demOcra-
cy of the country applied to itself af-
ter reading the election returns was
that Mr.. Blaine, as a presidential
possibility, had been disposed of and
that Mr.. Cleveland was now sure of
denomination and reelection. The
Syracuse Journal gives a few figures
which are calculated to draw most of
the oil from the consolation. Says
the Journal: "But the democracy
forgets that three years ago Cleveland
was elected by the beggarly plurality
of ,O74, whereas two years before
he carried the state by over 1872, 900 !!
Now the state of New York shows a
democratic plurality of about $4,000
that party actually being in a mi
nority of over 100000 of the vote
cast-and this moderate plurality,
disappearing on even a much less ra-
ito than the 49,, 8j4 in 1882 did in
1884, would give the republicans a
state and national victory. Mr..
Blaine knocked 1872 1854 down to l >
O74 /; and his political friends believe
that he will next year overcome this
years 1900. At any rate, there is
nearly 600, 1000 republicans in the EN-
pire state quite disposed to show
what he can do -

The Canadian Pacific railroad
seems to believe that lit is not good

all in its power to bring about the
desired change. When a settler in

back to Ontario to be married, the
railroad sells him a matrimonial tick

certificate he is entitled to free trans
portation for his bride.
